waters and the stream; women screamed

Horse Trotting in Sweden.

NJ Gus BenediCks, one of the directors
Of the General Swedish Trotting association,
who is now in this country looking for infor-
nation concerning American methods on the
turf, gives a graphic account of the "horse
world in Sweden. The central office of the
association is at Stockholm The president is
Count Alfred Pipen, and the royal family
take great interest in the races which usually
are held in winter on the ice. The circular
track of one English mile is inclosed, and an
admission fee is charged. The crowds are
always large and enthusiastic, although
there is no public betting as there is in this
country-in fact, there is not a single active
bookmaker i'll all Sweden. Professional
trainers and drivers are scarce, and the
speed of horses is not developed with skill.
Ii is the custom for each owner to drive him
self. The maximum rate of speed is $50 to
the mile, and a horse capable of doing this.
if sound and without fault, is valued at from
g, 600 to s.. 1000.
The judges occupy stand in the center
of the infield, and the horses, only two of
which start at one time travel in opposite
directions One goes to the right and the
other to the left, and the competitor which
gets back to the Sarting limo first is declared
the winner. The spectators in this style OF
competition are first interested in the widen
ing of the gap, and after the half mile post
has been reached they grow excited over the
steady closing of the same This method is a
great improvement in many respects over
the American method, as it keeps the spec
tators in longer suspense, does away with all
chance of collisions and prevents the horses
from getting excited and breaking Then
too, one driver cannot form anywhere near
a correct idea as TO the exact speed of his
competitor. and is therefore compelled TO
make his horse do its best. Il is more diff
cult, how ever, to follow race Of this de-
scription than one in which the horses travel
side by side and in the same direction The
prizes are mainly for Swedish bred horses

TIE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

General Kelfer wrote to Hon. John Lit
tie and requested him to ascertain what was
to be done in the way of erecting the pro-
posed government building in Springfield.
Mr.. Little made inquiries and learned that
1t is proposed to commence work on the
building as soon as the building season OF
1857 opens. 1t is believed that it will take
about two years to complete the building.
The work of excavating will undoubtedly
commence early in the spring.
We may expect therefore, that the work
on lhe government building and the new
city nall ana market house building will be
pushed. persistently and vigorously, this
next Spring, Summer and Fall, and that
both will be completed within reasonable
time.

One Lingering Relic Abolished.

The year 1SS6 marked the abolition in Eng
land of one long lingering relic of the semi
barbaric Roman law, the "patria potestasr
principle Up to the last year an English
mother did not become the guardian of her
children at their fathers death, nor did she
have any Voice in selecting one. The father
i'll life was sole guardian Of the children, and
dying he cOuli delegate that office to whom he
pleased, 10 the entire exclusion of the mother
Even now the patsrnal authority in life re-
mains almost absolute. But by the law passed
by Mr.. Gladstones government every widow
has been made, either alone or jointly with
an appOintee of her deceased husband or
the court, the guardian of her children while
she lives, and she may appoint person to
take her place in TINT capacity after her
death. That such rational measure should
have been delayed until within the last twelve
months is striking illustration Of John Bulls
conservatiln-Lon Letter.
